What does Not Enough Memory to open this page mean?

This is a pretty straightforward error, and it appears that your PC doesn’t have enough RAM to handle this issue. Other applications and demanding extensions can also cause this problem, so terminating them might be the best course of action. Sometimes this error might have certain variations:

Unable to complete due to low memory: This is a variation of this error, and it’s caused by the lack of RAM memory. Aw snap not enough memory: This issue is similar to the one described in our Aw, Snap! Something went wrong guide.

Quick Tip:

You can also try a browser that has built-in features that help reduce memory usage in order to get the best performance. We suggest you try Opera GX because it’s light and easy to use, and you can enable the CPU and RAM limiter by just toggling a button.

How do I get more memory for Chrome?

Chrome can be pretty demanding on your memory by design. To give it more memory, be sure to disable or remove extensions that you barely use since they will constantly work in the background. Also, be sure to keep only the essential tabs open. Background tabs that aren’t used will use your RAM, so if you’re not using them, close them. The same goes for other applications. If you aren’t using them, close them to preserve your memory. If this isn’t an option, perhaps you should consider expanding the memory. Those are some potential resolutions for the Not enough memory to open this page error. Note that the above resolutions might also fix other page crashes in Google Chrome.
